Full restoration of a 60-year-old wooden boat

Join me as I undertake the full restoration of a traditional wooden clinker boat that's 60 years old. From the first plank removal to the final sail, this high-quality, start-to-finish video captures every step with close-up woodworking, hand-tool craftsmanship, and patient shipwright skill. Watch the build process unfold: condition assessment, plank replacement, frame repairs, traditional clinker construction, steamed oak, copper fastenings, caulking, painting, and varnish finish. See how we preserve authentic character while upgrading structural integrity for safe sailing. The drama of restoration meets the calm of the workshop and the thrill of the water as she takes to the estuary for a test sail. Perfect for boatbuilders, wooden boat enthusiasts, and sailors who love hands-on craft, joinery, and traditional methods. If you enjoy woodworking, furniture making, and projects where tools, timber, and skill meet, this video is for you. The video blends the sounds of the workshop with music. If you enjoyed my video, 'Full Build of a Classic Traditional Dinghy' you will surely enjoy this. Sit back, relax and enjoy.
